Abstract

Introduction of Lord Buddha - Lord Buddha was born in 563 BC It happened on the day of Vaishakha Purnima in a village called Lumbini near Kapilavastu. His father's name was Shuddhodhan and mother's name was Maya. The original name of Gautama Buddha was Siddhartha. Before the birth of Buddha, his mother Maya had very strange dreams. When Shuddhodhana asked the prophets the meaning of such a dream, he told that Maya would get a wonderful son Ratna. If this child stays in the house, then Chakravarti will become the emperor. And if you commit homicide, you will become a monk and illuminate the whole world with the light of your knowledge.
